Based on our extensive experience working with startup entrepreneurs, we believe startups need three key things to succeed:

You don’t know what you don’t know. Having worked with hundreds of startups, we know what it takes to turn ideas into successful businesses. Through our programmes, workshops, newsletters, tools and templates we share our expertise to help budding entrepreneurs fast-track their startups.

Starting a business is challenging and risky. Having access to the right people can make all the difference. We give startups access to our vast network of potential advisors, customers, suppliers, co-founders, journalists and investors – here and abroad. And, once an Icehouse startup, always part of The Icehouse family.

Securing funding to get the idea off the ground or support the next stages of growth is often one of the key challenges for startups. We help you understand your funding options and what different investors are looking for, work out how much money you need at different stages, understand the funding process and help you get your business ready for investment. And whenever appropriate we will connect you to relevant investors.
